Checking for multiple Ids

Problem: I need to identify completed JobId's, ideally as a calculated column. I have 1 fact table with JobID and ApplicationID and two dim tables, one for JobID and one for ApplicationID. Each Job...

    Thanks to gmsamborn for suggestion the below solution - I only needed to change under VAR _NotCommenced the Application Dimension[Status] to IN {Offer, Background Checks, Onboarding}

     

    IsJobArchivable = 
VAR _Job = [JobID]
VAR _Commenced =
    COUNTROWS( 
        FILTER( 
            'FactTable',
            'FactTable'[JobID] = _Job
                && RELATED( 'Application Dimension'[Status] ) = "Commenced"
        )
    )
VAR _NOTCommenced =
    COUNTROWS( 
        FILTER( 
            'FactTable',
            'FactTable'[JobID] = _Job
                && RELATED( 'Application Dimension'[Status] ) <> "Commenced"
        )
    )
VAR _Result =
    IF(
        _Commenced > 0
            && _NOTCommenced = 0,
        TRUE(),
        FALSE()
    )
RETURN
    _Result

Hi Selva,

 

Thanks your prompt response.

 

I have tried the above but am getting the below error:

 

True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table filter expression must refer to exactly one column.

How can we rewrite the formula please?

I updated the formula using relatedtable instead, but It's still not producing the expected result.

In fact another formula, much simpler, produces the same result.

 

ApplicationisCompleted =
IF(DimApplication[Status])<>"", Completed)

This column contains the candidates who have finalised their onboarding and otherwise "".

I somehow need a formula that checks this column and where there are "Completes", check the JobID for any other ApplicationID's that are going through the offer and onboarding stages.

This column is what equals the below in your formula.

RELATED(DimApplication[Status]) = "Commenced"

      Hi Powerbiexpert!

       

      Thanks so much for helping.

       

      Unfortunately this produces the same result as before.

       

      Let me clarify the problem/scenario.

       

      I have 3 tables - JobID Dimension, ApplicationID Dimension and lastly a FactTable that links these together and includes both JobID and ApplicationID, relationships one to many going to FactTable.

      A JobID can contain many ApplicationID's. Think about it this way, a line area requests to recruit, which produces a JobID. Any candidates that apply, produces an ApplicationID.

       

      Under the ApplicationDim I have a column that identifies all ApplicationIDs that have completed their onboarding. If an applicationId hasn't reached that stage, the result is "" in this column.

      I also have another column, Stages, under this Dim that picks up the stage each application is at (there are about 9 stages candidates go through)

       

      Where an ApplicationID is finalised (on boarded) I somehow need this question answered - are there any other ApplicationIDs under that same JobID that are ongoing an offer/onboarding stage.

        I have created the below as a visual of the situation.

         

        The scenario I have looks like below

         

        JobID.     AppID.     Stage.     Onboarded

        1.               1.           Offer

        1.               2.          Onboarding

        1.               3.         Onboarded  Success

        2.                4.         Backgrounds

        2.               5.          Offer

         

        In JobID 1, there is one candidate onboarded. How do I pick up that there is at least one more application that were found successful and is at one of those stages?
